The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1268 - 1267: Shen Rushuang’s Regret
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
But now, Wang Junyi has caught Xingluo’s attention. Not only does he have Fourth Rank strength, but he’s also tamed a Seven-star Beast, becoming a Beast Tamer. The disparity is too great, and he’s really struggling to accept it.
For so many years, he felt he had journeyed through mountains and rivers, expending so much effort, yet still hadn’t found a master. He couldn’t believe Wang Junyi had done nothing and was so favored by destiny. How could Shen Yunlong be content with that?
"Young Master, Miss... Miss, she’s acting strange, we don’t know what’s wrong, could you please go and check?" Just as Shen Yunlong was complaining about fate’s unfairness, Shen Rushuang’s personal maid ran over in a panic.
Shen Yunlong shook his head, and upon hearing that his sister was in trouble, he went straight to Shen Rushuang’s room.
Upon entering, he saw Shen Rushuang looking dazed, mumbling to herself constantly. Listening closely, she was just saying the name "Su Changfeng" over and over.
Shen Yunlong walked over, gazed directly at Shen Rushuang, and asked, "Rushuang, what’s going on? What are you seeking Su Changfeng for?"
"Brother, brother..." Seeing Shen Yunlong come over, Shen Rushuang’s eyes suddenly brightened, as if she had finally come back to her senses. She grabbed Shen Yunlong’s hand and asked, "Did you find Su Changfeng? Where is he now? I want to see him."
Shen Yunlong secretly clenched his fists. He couldn’t understand what Shen Rushuang meant. How did she become like this, so absent-minded all the time?
Although he didn’t know what was going on, he believed Su Changfeng must have done something to Shen Rushuang, which is why she suddenly became like this. With this thought, his resentment toward Su Changfeng grew even stronger.
"Sister, what did that wastrel do to you? Tell me, and I will definitely help you avenge it!" Shen Yunlong said.
"I want to see him, brother, please, help me find him." Shen Rushuang said tearfully, her face sorrowful.
Seeing this, Shen Yunlong felt even more that Shen Rushuang’s abnormal behavior was definitely related to Su Changfeng; it’s very likely she was bullied by Su Changfeng.
Of course, what he didn’t know was that Shen Rushuang’s sorrow was largely due to regret, as she increasingly believed what Wang Junyi said was about Su Changfeng.
Shen Yunlong clenched his fist and reassured her: "Don’t worry, I will definitely find him. No matter where he has gone, I will bring him back to avenge you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Rushuang’s emotions gradually calmed down; she now just wanted to see Su Changfeng and clear everything up.
Shen Yunlong wanted to understand what was going on between Shen Rushuang and Su Changfeng, but he worried that asking might destabilize her newly calmed emotions once again, so he restrained himself from asking.
After leaving Shen Rushuang’s room, Shen Yunlong mobilized the Shen Family to thoroughly search Tianshui City, trying to find Su Changfeng’s whereabouts.
"Find Su Changfeng, break his leg immediately, and bring him back." Shen Yunlong ordered. He was convinced Su Changfeng had bullied Shen Rushuang, possibly even forced his sister. With such a thought, he felt a strong urge to kill Su Changfeng.
But he had little hope of finding Su Changfeng at the moment because Su Changfeng had already set off with Wang Junyi towards Qiyun City.
Qiyun City, a haven in men’s hearts, where the scenery along Red Powder River enchanted countless men.
Wang Junyi had also secretly visited Qiyun City before and naturally witnessed the scenery along Red Powder River. He could only say Red Powder River is truly a man’s paradise.
When Su Changfeng said he wanted to go to Qiyun City, Wang Junyi instinctively felt he, like other men, wanted to indulge there, so he began introducing Su Changfeng to several famous establishments along Red Powder River, even suggesting he could introduce him around.
Of course, Wang Junyi’s sleazy proposition was completely unnecessary for Su Changfeng, as he had no interest in the allure of Red Powder, and his heart would not waver for any woman other than Shen Hanxue.
Su Changfeng wanted to go to Qiyun City largely to broaden his horizons and better understand this world. Naturally, there was also a man’s curiosity involved, though he may be curious, he would never betray Shen Hanxue.
"Aside from women, there must be experts in Qiyun City, right?" Su Changfeng asked.
"Of course. Qiyun City is much larger than Tianshui City, and because of Red Powder River, many men come by, among whom there are naturally many experts. Let me put it this way: in Tianshui City, Fourth Rank is already considered top-tier, but in Qiyun City, you might even encounter Seventh-rank Experts." Wang Junyi replied.
"Only Seventh-rank?" Su Changfeng looked at him curiously.
Only Seventh-rank?
Upon hearing this, Wang Junyi couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. To outsiders, Seventh-rank Experts are already rare talents because above Seventh-rank, they are usually recruited by Xingluo. Where would they head to Qiyun City then? The women of Xingluo are incomparable to Qiyun City’s.
"Master, Seventh-rank may not be much in your eyes, but to ordinary people, it’s unimaginable. They might never see even one in their lifetime." As he spoke, Wang Junyi softly said, "Especially someone like you who can easily kill three Seventh-rank Experts, that’s even rarer."
"Your bootlicking skills are far superior to your actual skills." Su Changfeng glanced at him and said.
Wang Junyi had long developed thick skin, and hearing this, he felt no embarrassment at all. He even flashed a proud smile and said, "Master, although I don’t have much strength, when it comes to bootlicking skills, there really aren’t many who surpass me. Back when I pursued Shen Rushuang, I had even thicker skin, but thinking back now, it was utterly embarrassing."
"Haha, you also feel embarrassed, huh?" Su Changfeng said helplessly.
"Hehe, wasn’t that because I was young and foolish?" Wang Junyi scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Besides women, isn’t there anything else fun in Qiyun City?" In Su Changfeng’s view, although Qiyun City is most famous for its beauties, surely other things would have emerged given the large number of visitors. Since he’s arrived in this new world, Su Changfeng intends to savor and explore thoroughly.
"Master, Qiyun City is famous for its beauties. Any man who comes is for the women. As for what you mean, I’m not sure?" Wang Junyi looked at Su Changfeng with curiosity.
For Su Changfeng, Tianyuan Continent was a foreign world, so he couldn’t express anything clearly. Yet he had seen through it, that Wang Junyi solely focused on women; even if there were other things, he probably wouldn’t notice.
"It’s nothing, once I get to Qiyun City, I’ll see for myself." Su Changfeng said.
